Last summer, I caught a nice spec on Palmer, and not very far up the trail either...I was surprised. There were a lot of nice bows in that stretch, too...and if they're out of the picture, the brookies will have less competition.<BR/><BR/>From what your partner posted over on LRO, I know exactly which road you were on...and, that is a scary place to break down - miles from anywhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32835299.post-12418867779165150752008-04-23T23:07:00.000-05:002008-04-23T23:07:00.000-05:00Ijsouth, glad ya'll had a great trip!

All we were catching were browns and brookies... Had some interesting problems with the radiator but that's a story for another day...David Knapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12480485571834164857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32835299.post-7277093133295576012008-04-22T22:13:00.000-05:002008-04-22T22:13:00.000-05:00That was a pretty sunset Sunday; we saw it from th...That was a pretty sunset Sunday; we saw it from the parking lot of Steak N' Shake in Athens (it's a ritual - we always stop there on the way home). However, the fact that we were seeing the sunset there meant that we didn't get home until almost 5 in the morning. I was a zombie at work yesterday.<BR/><BR/>I saw a pretty good hatch on Straight Fork on Saturday, but nothing rose to them. It was a different story Sunday on Cosby - we did very well...about 40 between my oldest and myself. I wasn't planning on fishing Cosby this trip - I hate to rely on it like a crutch, but after a near-skunk on Saturday, we wanted some action.<BR/><BR/>Heard y'all were in Cataloochee over the weekend, too...I like that area, even if it is a pain to get to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32835299.post-67746783875532507492008-04-22T12:13:00.000-05:002008-04-22T12:13:00.000-05:00TC, That section above Elkmont is some of my favor...TC, That section above Elkmont is some of my favorite water in the park. There is a little bit of everything including good dry fly runs, pocket water, and a few good pools... Definitely a great place to spend time! Too bad you can't make it this year but it looks like you've been having some great fishing out there...David Knapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12480485571834164857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32835299.post-58082476220538466262008-04-21T23:20:00.000-05:002008-04-21T23:20:00.000-05:00In prior years I visited the Smokies a couple week...In prior years I visited the Smokies a couple weeks from now, and that yellow stone dry has always been my best fly. <BR/><BR/>I've fished up above Elkmont several times, though the farthest up the Little River I've gone was about a mile past that small footbridge across the river.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
